Ivory

"the good of many"

Many years ago, I read this quote on a colleague's office wall: "You might be the only Bible some people get to read." And I’ve thought of it countless times over the past two decades of my friendship with Sarita and Steven. I met them both in 1999 when we were new students at the University of Belize. Sarita and I quickly became friends as we were both English majors and lived only a block from each other. “How can you be friends with Ivory?" one of Sarita's Christian friends asked her about me one day. You see, even then, at the age of 19 Sarita was already overtly, passionately, unapologetically Christian. And, let's just say I was not. Over the years, I’ve remained the best of friends with her and Steven, especially since, after a series of uncanny coincidences, I’ve ended up living in Belmopan across the street from them.

 

Their family home is, truly, a mission house with an endless flow of foreign students grateful for a home-cooked meal, temporary place to stay, or bedsheets for their apartment; extended family members and friends milling about the kitchen and breakfast bar enjoying an unhurried visit; church youth stopping by on their bicycles, just for a quick hello; strangers, far from home, comforted by an unexpected Christmas dinner with a family. But even before they owned that house, Steven and Sarita have been extremely generous with their home and financial resources. I experienced this personally fourteen years ago when I needed a place to stay for some months and received from them not only a place to stay but unconditional love.

 

In 1 Corinthians 10, Paul says we should show people how to follow Jesus through our actions—seeking “the good of many” (32–33). That’s what Sarita and Steven have done throughout the years I’ve known them. Through their actions, they invite the world to believe in God and “follow the example of Christ.”

 

While not at all surprised, I am greatly inspired by the fact that they’ve formally established their mission of service to the Belmopan Community, and beyond, through The Water Fountain Christian Resource Center.

When you’re hurting, when you are lonely, that is when you need people that lift you up, that guide you and have faith when you don’t, people that will listen and pray for you. That is what the Water Fountain Christian Resource Center is about. There is a blessing when you can be sure that God is working on you through a ministry. Steven and Sarita have made it their mission to help others and I am thankful for that.

​

God’s word is the basis for their ministry and that has made a huge impact on my life. I know that they will continue to help others, as much as they have helped me to see God's healing power in action.
